Bab 5: Invulnerable Fighting Spirits
Several smokes from different spots can be seen rising up the sky as the two walks cautiously. Their goal was to reach their military outposts. Though they already knew the outposts were destroyed by now, yet still insist to go for they have no any other choice. The Center has already met it's terrible fate. Their only real hope now is to find a standing Military Outposts.
Few minutes later, they got out of the quiet sector of the village. The sounds of chaos now became louder. "O-Onee-chan..." Ayumi suddenly slows her pace, Which Chiho stops in surprise. "W-What's wrong?!". Chiho nervously reaches for Ayumi's shoulders, Which made Ayumi jumps in surprise. "A-Ah! N-Nothing..u-um.." Ayumi answered Chiho. This made Chiho relax and asked her again, Then Ayumi asked squirming. "A-Are we going to be safe?". Then Chiho brightly answered: "Of course! We'll just have to avoid any attention, and walk without anyone noticing". Chiho has a bit of courage because of what her father taught her. "And i'll protect you whatever happens, So don't worry alright?" Chiho told Ayumi with bright smile, Making Ayumi smile back and nods.
As they continued to walk cautiously, Explosions still continues to erupt as the bombers flew by above them. The two didn't care about the bombers that might saw them, because of how they believe they cannot be seen by how fast the Jets are. They proceed.
They're finally close to the Center. The two reached a Roving bridge when suddenly Ayumi holds Chiho's hands and stopped walking. "Onee-chan.. I don't think we are safe to go near the center" Ayumi convinced Chiho to stop going further. "I-..I see.. I just thought we'll still be able to see any survivors" Chiho placed her palm on the back of her head with sad face. "I...Don't think there will be any survivors, The Center's been exploding since the first flying thing went over it" Ayumi assumes the terrible outcome of the bombings. "Y-You never know... There might be at least who hid from their basement and-" "But the Center is too huge for just the two of us to save even one person! And look!". Before Chiho could continue, Ayumi interrupts her and points at the sky, A plane flew by and Prohorovkan troops falls from the plane and Parachutes. "That's the third time i saw a plane since we left the house and lots of enemy fell from it and slowly falling to the Center". "There are tons of them on the Center right now.. Killing us..." Ayumi suddenly fell in despair. "A-Ayumi!" Chiho holds both Ayumi's shoulders and shakes her a bit. "Y-You can't say that!" Chiho scolds Ayumi. "B-But it's true right? This is the fate of a loser in war" Ayumi looks directly at Chiho's eyes with a rather pained smile, Then her face quickly changes into a serious mood. "We don't even know which village they were from, what region they were in, What's their flag looks like. And what's more confusing is..." Ayumi looks away from Chiho, to look at the sky where they saw the parachuting Prohorovkan troops before. "What are those fast flying thing, Those small things they drop and cause an enormous explosion". Ayumi started to speak again but Chiho interrupts her.Making Ayumi look back at her. "You're thinking too much, Ayumi... We can think these through again once we find help, alright?". Chiho convinced Ayumi to stop. "S-Sorry" Ayumi looked at the grounds. "Also, You're too young to think these kinds of things, And same goes for me! So let's not think about those and just rely on our soldiers alright?" Chiho tried to console Ayumi but Ayumi didn't say anything. "Let's go, Let's keep going.. If there are any enemies, let's quickly run back here.." Chiho walks forward and looked back at Ayumi, to signal that She should follow her now. Though, Ayumi still disagree going for the Center and just hopes they will be safe.
The two proceeds forth as Ayumi's fear grew as they get closer to their Center. Suddenly, A Heavy Armor wielding an Pollaxe. suddenly bolted out of a building, It was one of their soldier. "Eeek!!" The two screams bewildered at the sudden event, Ayumi quickly hides behind Chiho. "You there!" The Heavy armored soldier speaks, Then the soldier started speak in different language. "Are you two Tsuchiyans?" Chiho suddenly lit up, and so Ayumi peek at the soldier. "W-Was that... an Old Tsuchiyan....Lang..." Chiho can't speak in excitement, holds both her palm and talks in the same language "Yes, We are Tsuchiyans! Please, Help!". Ayumi instantly recognized the language by Chiho's talkings and went beside her, bows and greets in the same language. "N-Nice to meet you"
Satisfied, The soldier rested his weapon at his side and started to speak their present language again "No enemies should never know of our old beautiful language for as they speak language that is not from any of the villages in our region. Shall they came from different regions, our old language spreads will never reach them. Come, Citizens! In the building!" The soldier instructed the two to enter the building. The two was still amazed by the soldier using their old Tsuchiyan language to see if they are Tsuchiyans. As the two entered the building with the heavy armored soldier on their tow, They were greeted by the four other soldiers in lighter armor's gaze and the surviving Tsuchiyans sitting on the side. The interior is not on a good condition just like how it looks like from the outside, But can hold out for a few days, maybe. The two stood still by the door way, Then one of the soldiers speaks. "Hello there, Citizens. Please, Stay here for a while we still look for any surviving pe-" "No, These are all we could bring for now. We cannot risk bringing a larger group of survivors and ending up being detected by those flying things by our large presence. And specially running away from enemies who will somehow see us". The heavy armored soldier interrupts the other soldier. "Fine, Fair enough. Now you two, please?" The soldier laid his hand on the air on his left, gesturing that the two should go over there. "S-Sor..." Chiho tries to apologize while she hurriedly go to their side.but she was too pressured by the realization of keeping the heavy armor soldier waiting for them to get in. Ayumi silently follows Chiho.
The Heavy armored soldier carefully closed the door and removed his helmet and faced the group. His face wears a monstrous look, like he's been in hell countless times, slaying demons and coming back alive and so. Although disturbing, It is quite astonishing for the two that they have such brave soldiers among their military. "Alright, Citizens. We came from the hidden base west of our Center".
Ayumi quickly recognized a bunker and suddenly lit up. "Kakuden is it?!". A Soldier noticed Ayumi's brightful words and grins and crossed his arms. "Yes, little girl. The Kakure Kyuden. I see you've been sticking to your lessons eh!". This made the two look each other and smile. This also made the heavy armored soldier to smile a bit. "Yes. The Kakure Kyuden or Kakuden for short. A Fairly large underground bunker full of weaponry and equipment in case of sudden invasion or breakthrough of the enemies during wars. We do not know why do our great leader intends to hide the fact that we could keep medium-sized catapults inside the Kakuden by telling the whole citizen that, that is just a myth. But there you have it, We do can store catapults inside the Kakuden". "I-I knew it! I knew it wasn't a myth! If it's said large, then everything that is smaller than large can fit!" Ayumi clears her doubt with the heavy armored soldier's words. The soldiers just smiles at Ayumi then returned to their usual faces. "Alright. We were tasked by the commander of the bunker to escort surviving Tsuchiyans to the bunker. Right now, There are four search parties around these place. Though, The commander let us think free of how are we going to do it so we don't know if the other search parties are safe". The Heavy armored soldier explains the situation. Chiho was furious to his explanation. "Think..Free?! Is that even allowed?! Without clear orders, the soldiers are gonna-!" "The commander did it to test us, Those who are full of courage will be able to get back, Those who are not are free to die in the hands of the enemies. It's a crazy rule, but it helps to sort out chickens out of the wolves pack" The Heavy armored soldier interrupts her to explain quickly. Though, The two didn't understand the 'wolves pack' part, they looked at each other and gave a confused look. "Now enough of that!" The Heavy armored soldier wore his helmet back and shouts, as to give the group an order. "We are now going for the bunker! Do your best to keep up with us. If there's a trouble, Do not panic and just follow us! We'll keep you safe!" Hearing the Heavy armored soldier, The survivors stood up. "Yuuto!" The heavy armored soldier calls out a soldier then gets out. The other three soldiers followed shortly. "Yes!" The obedient-looking soldier who appears to have a name of Yuuto, responded. "Alright, Citizens. I'll be the one you'll follow as the soldier with the pollaxe will guide us to the Kakuden.. Quick." Then Yuuto goes out with the survivors on his tail. The two follows them.
he whole group silently walk through the abandoned buildings, Only the soldiers' armor clanking as they walk can only be heard. And the two also silently follows them behind. As they reach an intersection. The heavy armored soldier stopped and puts his hands on the air, to signal the group to stop. Then he broke the silence. "Up ahead is the way to the Center. And for some reason, The enemies are all piled up in there and they only put small groups of soldiers to patrol the streets" The heavy armored soldier explained. "So small, we crushed them despite of what kind of a weapon they have. And whatever it is, I crushed it with my weapon" He continued. "W-What a waste isn't it?! We should have-!" Before Chiho could continue, He looked back at Chiho. "...It's not ours... The Great Leader has made a secret rules only for the military to know, that we should not take anything from any villages as our materials and chances to improve our weapons. We MUST improve them using OUR own ways and resources" He explained to Chiho. "Tsk" Followed by a grump, Chiho silently whispered to Ayumi: "I know we are the biggest village in the region and all, but we still need the other village's technologies and inventions. We'll take a good look on them and try to make a better one out of it" Though, Despite her determination on a better plan of modernizing technologies, Ayumi just looks back at her. Which made Chiho sigh.
"Though it is small, If they have noticed that their patrols didn't comeback, they will definitely look for them with larger patrols... Just follow me..We'll go this way" The heavy armored soldier points his finger to the right.
"Another way to the Kakuden lies here. Though, We do not know if the enemies have been in these parts so let's be careful" He added. Then He went to the right way, and the group followed shortly.
After walking for about 5 minutes from the intersection,They reached a part where there were no buildings on the right side of the road. Few seconds later,The group heard an incoming loud wailing from the sky. The survivors started to get worried and whispers words. "W-What is that noise?! A war horn?!" Chiho asked the heavy armored soldier. "No. It cannot be the war horns. We never heard such war horns sound like that, and also it's coming way faster, It's got to be one of those flying things again" He answered. As the loud noise come close, A Black Stuka came on sight with large visible red star on it's sides and on each wings. "H-Hey! There! Look over there!" A soldier stopped walking and points at the sky. "It's that thing making those weird noise!". The plane was flying to their direction. "It's coming towards us! What do we do!?" As the soldiers panic, The group grew louder with whimpers. "S-Stay calm! Let's stop walking and let it pass through!" The heavy armored soldier tried to focus. "No way! We have to run! Were going to die from it's explosives!" A soldier opposes the heavy armored soldier's attempt. "If we run, We'll be seen! Look at it! It's slower than the first one!" The heavy armored soldier rejected the soldier's idea. "Let's just go inside the houses then!". Another soldier gave an idea, Then the whole group looks at the houses on the left. All the visible houses are already destroyed and is impossible to get in, Then the noise started to get real loud as the plane's image started to clear. "S-Shit!" A soldier cursed at the horrible situation. Then a female survivor, who looks as young as Chiho and with short green hair started to wear a terrified face and puts both of her hands on the top of her head. "H-Haahhh... No.....No..No....!!" The girl was visibly shaking. "C-Calm down!" Chiho tried to console the girl, but was quickly interrupted by the heavy armored soldier. "Quickly! Near the houses and duck!" As the plane's about to come, The group quickly went close to the buildings and ducks down. As they get into the position, The plane started to lower it's altitude, Then as it flies by above the group, It left a strong wind, attacking the group and a deafening loud siren and loud engine roar along with the survivor's cries behind it. "Is it go-" A Soldier speaks but was quickly interrupted by an explosion, shaking the surface and the group losing their balance and falling on to ground. "Goddamn it!" A soldier reacted to the explosion. "T-That one is different.." Ayumi started to speak. "It has feet and slower than the first one" She continued. "I-I know right... It also sounds different" Chiho speaks. "Just what are these monsters?!" A soldier jolted up. "Yeah, They are monsters. Except that they are not really a 'monster'" The Heavy armored soldier answered the soldier's whine. "What do you mean by that?" Chiho stood up to ask. "If you carefully observed it, They are not biological. That flying thing is made out of metals" The Heavy armored soldier started to explain. "M-Metals?! Like the blades from swords and spears?! H-How...." Chiho questioned about his explanation. The whole group was also puzzled by this. "Well, Believe it or not, I swore i have saw no scales or skins, It looks entirely different from skins or scales. Now we do not know yet how they fly" He continued his explanation. "H-How would you know?! It might just be a painted woods and have some kind of a flying animal carrying it?" Chiho questioned him again. "No. I saw reflections. Woods don't reflect, But metals do" The heavy armored soldier responded. "Let's think this again once we reached the Kakuden! Let's proceed!" He ordered the group to continue walking again. Few minutes later, They heard the plane again and was alerted. But the plane just went back to the direction of where it came from.
It took about fifteen minutes for them to reach another intersection. And again, They stopped. "Alright, Left of here is the way to the Ce-" Before the Heavy armored soldier could continue, They heard a familiar languages being spoken not far from them, and was coming from the street to the Center. The heavy armored soldier backs off, then told the group. "Quick! Find a place to hide!". The whole group then started to look at the surrounding buildings. "H-Here! Over here!" An Adult Male survivor calls out an attention and points to an almost-destroyed house. "Alright, to the building!" The heavy armored soldier ordered. The group went in first then the soldiers and the last was the Heavy armored soldier. After he got in, He carefully closed the door for the sake of the house staying intact. "W-Why are we hiding?!" A soldier asked to the Heavy armored soldier. "What?! You guys look for a place to hide without even knowing what's to hide for?!" The Heavy armored soldier was surprised. "Well yeah, We were surprised. You just suddenly asked for a place to hide" The soldier responded. "Whatever. I heard people talking with a language i don't recognize" The heavy armored soldier told them what happened. Then He peeked at the door slightly. "Here they come" He whispers.
Two Prohorovkan troops started to appear from the street, both holding assault rifles. Then the Heavy armored soldier listened closely to their conversation. "Hey, Were both Japanese right? Come on, let's speak Japanese, We don't have to speak Russian right now yeah?" The male Prohorovkan now speaks in Japanese, Made the Heavy armored soldier surprised. He can fully understand what the soldier just said. "What the... They are now speaking our language... But, Japanese?.." He was left speechless. Then He started to listen again. "-oods, Right? I don't know why Shichiro wants this kind of tactics. We should ha-" The female Prohorovkan was already speaking and the Heavy armored soldier didn't catch the whole conversation as they disappear. "Damn it, I didn't hear anything at all!" The Heavy armored soldier curses as their enemies walk away gone to the street going to the right. He then backed off from the door and faced the group. "How did it go?" A soldier asked a question. But He shakes his head. "Not much" He answered to the soldier. The whole group falls into disappointment. "But i heard that they also speak 'Japanese' That is surprisingly the same with our language" He explained. "W-What do you mean?" Chiho asked. "They said to speak Japanese, when they did, I can still understand them. It sounds exactly like ours" He responded. "What the hell.." A soldier puts his his hands on his face. "S-So are you saying that the Japanese and Tsuchiyan is same?" Chiho asked again. "Most likely. Either they stole our language and named it themselves or just a horrible coincidence from other region's country" The Heavy armored soldier assumed. "Coincidence?! Bullshit!" The soldier throws his hands away from his face. "We do not know yet! So, Silence!" The Heavy armored soldier scolded the soldier. Then he peeked outside again, then opens the door and said: "Let's keep going". The group went outside and the survivors goes behind Yuuto. "Alright, They went this way. So let's be careful" As the Heavy armored soldier told them, He's about to walk but He was stopped by Yuuto. "Hey... Are you sure were going that way?" Yuuto asked. "Yeah, The Kakuden is nearby. We'll just walk slowly then so we don't catchup with them". Yuuto sigh and faced the survivors behind him. "Alright, Let's go, Citizens! We are close!" The survivors happily whispers after hearing those words.
"All good? Let's go" The Heavy armored soldier started to walk with the group behind him. Once the group has entered the street, Chiho heard a dying engine sound. Her face slowly started to fill with horror as She saw an Enemy in an unfamiliar vehicle. It was an R37 Sidecar. It is a Motorcycle with an MG-34-mounted sidecar. There are two crews, The Driver and the Gunner. As She stare at the Driver, She noticed that their face was kind of confused. "Run....." Chiho spoke. "Huh?" Ayumi stopped walking and looks back at Chiho. But as soon as Ayumi looked "RUN!!" Chiho quickly turns back at Ayumi and grabs her wrist and started to run past the survivors. As Chiho reached the Heavy armored soldier, He quickly heard her footsteps and quickly looked over his shoulder. "Whoa hey now, Citizen!" Yuuto tries to grab Chiho, but Chiho avoided. "We..We have to run!" Chiho told the Heavy armored soldier, Panicking. Then He finally turn around to face Chiho. "What?" The Heavy armored soldier asked but before Chiho could answer, the survivors started to panic. This made Chiho and the soldiers look back at them. Then the survivors started running past Yuuto. "Hey wait!" The Heavy armored soldier chased the first survivor, Making the group lose it's formation and all started running. Up ahead was a curved road. With buildings surrounding the streets, The enemies can no longer be seen as the group reached the curve. Then this time, Up ahead, Was a long road. Though, The two soldiers from before is still walking the path. But the survivors didn't care about them and kept running. "C-Commander!" Yuuto calls out the Heavy armored soldier, visibly worried sick about being seen by the enemies ahead. But surprisingly, Despite the noises, The two soldiers still didn't bother to look until the group was close. "Yuuto! Get the other one!" The Heavy armored soldier loudly gave an order to Yuuto. "Roger!" Yuuto responds with the same loud voice. Then Yuuto and the Heavy armored soldier runs faster than the survivors and charges towards the two enemy. "Huh?" The enemy male soldier looks behind "E-Enemy!". Then the other one got alerted and turns around as well. But it was too late for them to react. The Heavy armored soldier has his Pollaxe's sharp head pointed at the male soldier's stomach, the same with Yuuto's spear towards the other one. Then their blades stabs the soldiers' stomach and kept pushing the enemies with a shout for them to slow down from the charge then they gave a final push to get their blades off the enemies and drop them to the ground. Then the Heavy armored soldier holds his Pollaxe up in the air then throws it down with a shout to the enemy's chest, Making a loud chop noise and blood splatter followed by the enemy's screaming in pain. The soldier's eyes grew wide as He struggled to breath and remove the axe off his chest, but the extreme pain from the Pollaxe's stab makes him weak. Noticing the struggling soldier, The Heavy armored soldier pushed his Pollaxe even deeper into his chest. This made the soldier twitch and quickly die. Seeing that the soldier is dead, The Heavy armored soldier raised his Pollaxe with the body still stuck in it's blade, Then placed his foot onto the body and pushes the body off the blade. Then He looked at Yuuto, Who have seemed to pierce the neck of the female soldier with his spear. "Good job" He compliments Yuuto. "Yeah.. The others went ahead to catch the running citizens" Yuuto responded. Then they both felt a presence from their back and turns around. Chiho and Ayumi was there. They can't believe what they are looking at. Both are visibly shaking and terrified at the view. "Citizen. Try not to look too much, it'll be bad for you" Yuuto convinced the two to stop looking at the bodies. "Let's go, Everyone is up ahead" The Heavy armored soldier started walking. "Yeah, Let's catch up with them" Yuuto agreed. The two soldier started to run. "A-Ayumi-chan... D-Don't look at it.. L-Let's just go" Even though Chiho said that to Ayumi, She herself can't even look away. Even when they started walking. When they finally get pass by the bodies, They started to calm down. But not until they heard a loud engine revving up from the curved road. The two was surprised and immediately looked behind. It was the R37 before. The R37 gave a final rev and finally charges towards them with a loud engine sound. "T-They're coming!" Ayumi shouts. "L..Let's go!" Chiho started to run and shouted at Ayumi.
Ayumi also ran, but She was being left because of how slow she is. "O-Onee-chan! Wait!". Chiho heard her call and gasp. "Hurry!" Chiho slowed down her pace. As Ayumi started to reach Chiho, The R37 is also starting to get close too. Chiho looked at the R37 then at Ayumi. "I'll carry you!" "Eh?!" Chiho catched both Ayumi's legs with efforts and carried her, surprising Ayumi. Then Chiho started to run faster. Chiho then saw the Heavy armored soldier and Yuuto wielding their weapons up ahead, looking at them. "Hurry, Citizen! This way!" The Heavy armored soldier shouts at Chiho. Then She looked ahead, There's a road to the right and straight only. Chiho pushed herself to run even faster. "This way!" As Chiho reached the soldiers, Yuuto points to his left, Which Chiho did so. Once they finally turned left, Chiho immediately fell on her knees but gently put down Ayumi before stepping a few steps and throws herself to the ground, Chiho was panting so hard, trying to catch her breath. "Onee-chan! Are you okay?!" Ayumi quickly stood up and went by Chiho's side. "Onee-chan!" Ayumi's face was filled with horror as She flipped Chiho by her shoulders. "Haah...Haah.. Ayumi.." Chiho looked at the worried Ayumi and hardly calls her name, smiling. "Geez! You look like you're going to die!" Ayumi pouts. "Here it comes!" The Heavy armored soldier shouts, Making the two gasp and quickly looked at the two soldiers still standing on the middle road. The sound of engine of the R37 got closer as the two soldier put up a stance. Until the R37 open fires. "S-Shit!" The Heavy armored soldier curses as they evade the bullets flying to their direction. They went to hide to Chiho's direction but the Heavy armored soldier got hit twice, on the legs and waist. "Commander!" Yuuto on the other hand, survived. And looked back to the Heavy armored soldier. But despite his wounds, He still managed to walk towards them then falls into one knee. "C-Commander!" Yuuto shouted. Then the R37 appeared fast and hardly hits the brake. The gunner speaks in Russian and looks at Chiho's direction. Then the R37 quickly reversed. Seeing this, The Heavy armored soldier tried to stand but the pain was too much to take He just fell. "Don't stand!" Yuuto told him to stay put and faced the R37, whose is already about to turn to face them. "Goddamn it....!" Chiho looked at the wounded Heavy armored soldier and quickly stood up. "Onee-chan?!" Ayumi also stood up in surprise. Then Chiho runs to snatch the Pollaxe from the Heavy armored soldier. "Hey!" "Citizen!" The two shouted at her as She charges towards the R37. "ONEE-CHAN!!!" Ayumi shouted at the top of her lungs while bursting tears. "Stop her! Yuuto!" The Heavy armored soldier told Yuuto. But He panicked and froze on spot. "Yuuto!". The Heavy armored soldier screamed.
Tears flies from Chiho's eyes as She charges towards the R37. She held the Pollaxe with two hands and raised it on the air. The two enemies saw this and the gunner talks to the driver in russian, Which the driver nods and grins with evil intent, revs up the engine and drives toward the charging Chiho. "NOOOO....!!" Ayumi started to run but The Heavy armored soldier forcefully stood up and catches Ayumi, followed by his painful moan. "C-Commander!" Yuuto looks back at him. "C-Child... It's too..Dangerous!" The Heavy armored soldier warns Ayumi. "But..!" Their conversation was cut by Chiho's scream, Whose facing the R37 alone. As She's about to close in against the R37, Chiho heard one thing She managed to hear from the Driver. "сдыха́а́а́ть!!". Then She quickly looked at the Gunner, who had His gun fortunately pointing up instead of towards Chiho. Then Chiho quickly moves to the right, surprising both the soldiers. Then She screamed again and put the Pollaxe's blades to her right and violently swung it forward with a timing to hit the Gunner, Who's got hit by his neck. With the Pollaxe stucked at his neck, The soldier forcefully got out of sidecar, eyes wide and hardly screaming. Chiho then lays the Pollaxe in front of her with the soldier, who's bleeding very bad from his neck. The Driver looked back at them without stopping the R37. "Hiroki!!" The Driver screamed. "Haaaaaah!!" The Driver heard the scream and looked at his front. To only see a spear pointed at his neck held by Yuuto's left hands from the safe distance from the R37's way. The Driver tried to stopped the R37 but It was way too fast for it to fully stop. "Haah!" Yuuto moves his left hand back then charges forth towards the Driver's neck, stabbing it with a lot of force. Same as happened with the Gunner, The Driver was put out of the R37, leaving it still moving forward. Yuuto then moved his spear to make the Driver, Who's now appeared died from the strong stab, To kneel. Then He grabbed the Driver's head then pushed it at the same time He pulled his Spear away from the Driver's neck. Lots of bloods burst out of neck as the Spear got removed. "Hiiih..!" Ayumi was terrified of the scene, She watched the neck drains out of blood. Then Yuuto let go of the head and the body drops forward. "Urgk!" Ayumi holds her mouth, to stop vomiting, but despite her efforts, She moved away from the Heavy armored soldier and pukes. Yuuto looked at Ayumi, but didn't do anything. Ayumi then slowly turned back to look at them again.
Then Yuuto turned to look at Chiho. "Ah!" He saw Chiho, Panting hard and still holding the Pollaxe stucked on the Gunner's neck. "C-Citizen!" Yuuto called out Chiho but She furiously looked back at him with a raging look and looked back to the Gunner again. She forcefully removed the Pollaxe, making the Gunner's body goes on air about a second and falls again. Then She raised it on the air and swung it down the Gunner's neck with a shout, Beheading him. After that, She remained like that for a few moments, catching her breath. Yuuto, The Heavy armored soldier and Ayumi saw what she did. Their jaws drop, speechless of what she just did. Then Chiho carried the Pollaxe and looked at Yuuto, Then looked away and started walking towards them with shaking legs, using the Pollaxe to support her from falling. Yuuto and The Heavy armored soldier only watch her walk as they're speechless. But Ayumi bursts into tears. "Onee-chan..!!" Then runs toward Chiho with open arms. Chiho saw her and stopped walking. But Ayumi jumps to hugs her, Chiho tried to catch Ayumi but She don't have enough strength to support herself and She falls sitting. Ayumi hugs her tightly as She cries. Chiho hugged her lightly and rested her head by placing her cheeks on Ayumi's head. Then She closed her eyes and tears started to flow. Yuuto and The Heavy armored soldier watch them embrace each other. "My, My... Look at that" The Heavy armored soldier speaks, making Yuuto look at him. "That girl do know how to wield a weapon....As Expected of the Daughter of Commander Yagano". "Eh?!" Yuuto was surprised about what He just said. "Commander...Y-Yagano..?" Then Yuuto looked back at Chiho. "Yeah... Commander Yagano once told me that He and his wife never told their Daughter a thing about him being a commander of an army. Or even being involved to the army. He only trains her some Self-Defense" Then Yuuto looked back at the Heavy armored soldier. "Heh.. I guess her training finally paid off" Then the Heavy armored soldier slowly raised his body to sit and moved to a building to lay his back. "Oh yeah Commander! You're wounded!" Yuuto suddenly jolts and ran towards the Heavy armored soldier and kneels, heel down. "Hah you idiot.... You just remembered that now? If i were weaker i'd be dead by now" The Heavy armored soldier teased Yuuto, Which made him regret forgetting about his commander's wounds. "Now don't sweat it kid, I've been wounded several times and longer than this" The Heavy armored soldier relaxes Yuuto. "As expected of you, Commander" Yuuto replied with his hands on the back of his head. "But i still need help, I'm no god. We have to get to the Kakuden quick" The Heavy armored soldier added. "Right" Yuuto responded and stood up then looked at Chiho and Ayumi. "Citizens?" Yuuto called out for them. Then Chiho looked at him. Yuuto approached them and told them. "Let's go, Hasegawa-san" This surprised Chiho, and so Ayumi whose suddenly turns her head to look at Yuuto. "H-How did you...." Chiho asked Yuuto. "Daughter of Hasegawa Yagano.... Commander....Yagano". "Commander?!" Chiho tensed up, surprising Ayumi. "Yes. Commander Yagano of the 1st Armored Battalion.. The Brave Commander of the very first Army formed. Ever since that day, He's been fighting wars with his whole life". Chiho then started to tears again. "No way....." "Onee-chan...." Ayumi felt sad at Chiho. "Hey now, Yuuto" The Heavy armored soldier called out Yuuto. "No.. There's no point of hiding that now" Yuuto looked over his shoulder, to the Heavy armored soldier, Then looked back at Chiho. "You just turned into a person your father doesn't want you to be, Hasegawa Chiho-san. But losing our village to a war.. In times like these, Staying Angelic and Innocent person is meaningless. If you can do it, Do it. Do it for the sake of your Village, Your beloved ones and for your Freedom. If you can't otherwise, Then you are to die like an animal".
This made the two surprised and look at Yuuto. "I know your father doesn't want you to fight. But i bet He'll soon tell you all this if such times like these happened.. If he were still on your side". The Heavy armored soldier sigh as he removed his helmet and kept listening to Yuuto. Then Chiho asked Yuuto. "Father.... Where's my father?" Chiho looked at Yuuto with teary eyes. "He..Died with honor." This made Chiho cry even more, Ayumi hugs her lightly. "Without him, We... Wouldn't be here right now.." Yuuto looked over the Heavy armored soldier. Which He responded with a sad emotion. Then Yuuto looked back at Chiho. "We were your father's left and right hands. And by the time this disaster happened, Your father and us two did our duty to protect the village. But a horrible situation led us a good lose of men and we are running out of options. The enemies' technologies are way too incredible for us to handle.. They no longer use Swords,Spears or Axe. They killed our men from a distance. They have a weapon where you think you're a god because you kill from afar.. Then suddenly, your father think of an unbelievable idea.. He told us to run while we still can, That He will distract the enemies away from us.. Of course i refused! I don't want him to die like that!". Yuuto shouted, But The Heavy armored soldier shouted at him. "You idiot! If he hasn't thought of that, We'll all die! It was an honorable sacrifice! He saved our lives!". "Tch..." Yuuto averted his gaze to the right. There, He saw a T-62A with a load of soldiers sitting at it's back, just turned to the road where they were staying. Yuuto's eyes widen in shock. "E-Enemies!" This made the three look at him, Then Ayumi and Chiho looked at the direction of where the tank. "D..Damn it!". The tank stopped and aims it's cannons to Yuuto."R-Run!" Yuuto shouted and quickly turns around and runs toward the Heavy armored soldier. The Tank fires it's cannon as Yuuto moves, Missing it's shot. Chiho and Ayumi felt the wind of the shell flying by them and hits a building. The two looked at the building it destroyed, The neighboring houses also fell. The two stare at the building, shocked of how much destruction can a tank do. "Hurry!" Yuuto shouted at the two. Making the two jolt and stand up quick. As they stand, The MG from the turret of the tank starts firing. Bullets fly as they run and luckily they didn't get hit. "Shit! That was close! Why did you space out?!" Yuuto scolded the two. "S-Sorry!" Chiho quickly apologized. "Whatever, We can't stay here! Commander! Any idea?!" Yuuto asked the Heavy armored soldier, who readies to stand up. "Whoa!" Yuuto quickly supported him stand. "That was loud! Was that a tank?" The Heavy armored soldier asked. "Yeah, It is! It even has Foot soldiers on its side! We are outnumbered!" Yuuto answered. "Damn it....." The Heavy armored soldier curses. Then looks at the abandoned R37. "You two... Go drive that thing" The Heavy armored told the two girls to drive the R37. "W-What?!" Chiho was surprised. Then the Heavy armored soldier looked at Chiho. "It's just like i said.. Drive that thing and get out of this village from that hole" The Heavy armored soldier points at a destroyed wall, just straight of the road they are on. "B-But how about you?!" Chiho worriedly asked him. "No. Hasegawa Chiho... You are on the top of our priorities. After all Me and Yuuto have a promise to fulfill.. Now, Go!" The Heavy armored shouted at the two. "Let's go, Ayumi" Chiho nodded to the Heavy armored soldier and held Ayumi's hand then started to run towards the R37. Then Yuuto ran over the Driver's body and took two painkillers and The Heavy armored soldier stood up and burst open a door of a building. Then Yuuto looked at the two. "Commander Yagano... We did our very best to guide your daughter. Though, We still don't know if they're going to make it, But please, Watch over them" Yuuto whispered to himself as He runs to enter the building.
As the two reach the R37, Chiho quickly went into the Driver's seat and Ayumi went for the sidecar. "H-How does this work?!" Chiho asked herself loudly. Ayumi couldn't answer. Then just as She remembered, The Driver was holding onto the handlebars, which she also did. "How?!" As She meddle with the handles, She turned the throttle with forced, making the R37 moves forward with a force, shaking them both. "Oww!" Ayumi held her head. "Whoa...Amazing!" Knowing the controls She slowly turned the throttle and the R37 accelerates smoothly. "A-Amazing! You just turn this knob kind of thing and this whole thing go!" "Wow..." The two both were amazed but they are still in hurry. Then finally R37 reached it's highest speed with it's current gear and it's engine started to sound louder. "O-Oh no!" Chiho quickly turn the throttle up to the fullest, wanting it to stop. "W-What happened?! Why did you let go?!" Ayumi panics. "I-I-It sounds like it's going to explode!" Chiho looked at Ayumi with fear. "Go! They are behind us!" Ayumi's about to look behind when She saw a mirror fixed on the sidecar. "H-Haahh... T-The Tank..." Ayumi saw the cannon pointed at them and began shaking in fear. "T-Tank?! What is Tank?!" Chiho shouted at Ayumi. "Just Drive!" Ayumi screamed at Chiho and covers her ears and lowers her head. Then Chiho accelerates the R37, This time it's a lot faster. "W-Whoa... Did you think we are a lot fa-" Chiho's sentence was cut short by the tank's loud cannon shot and a shell flew by them. "Whoa!" "Aaaaahhh!!!" Chiho was surprised by the shell's wind pass by, making her shake the handles and shaking Ayumi in sidecar. The Shell hit the right wall from the hole, filling the way of the hole with stones. "Ayumi! Were still alive!". Chiho told Ayumi with a bit of brightness. "H-Heeh...?" Ayumi slowly raised her head. "And we are going faster than before!" Chiho excitedly told Ayumi. "Y-Yeah.. I noticed!" The R37 reached its peak again and needed to upshift. "Take a look!" Chiho let go of the right handle and shakes her hand for Ayumi to see then holds the bar again. "You just had to-!" The tank fires again, cutting short of their conversation again. The two screamed in surprise. This time the shell hits the left wall, but only few stones blocks the way as most of them flew outside and making the hole a bit bigger, Though the way has a lot of stones piled up already. "T-They're blocking our way out!" Ayumi noticed the intention of the tank. "A-Anyway! You just turn this back up and you can hear a clank underneath of what i'm sitting on! And now it goes faster!" Chiho excitedly explains to Ayumi. "W-What are you smiling at?!" Ayumi shouted at Chiho. Then Chiho looked forward. "H-Here goes!" Chiho turned the throttle to the fullest then gave a last upshift and turned the throttle to the full again. "O....Onee-chan! Don't!" "Hold still!" The two closed their eyes as the R37 angles up and flew them outside of the wall.

Keetrix It's done! It's been so long! Sorry! Alright... First off, I really like the Sound of the Stuka, Junkers JU-87 'Stuka'. It really brings terror as how it sounds and how louder it is as it gets closer. Though i had a hard time explaining how does it really sounds like. Not only to this, but many. i tried to put it all here but 500 author thots limit is a meh. So i had to delete it. I will try to work faster next time!
(I'm also bad at titles!) <-- I used a phone and saw how many words and now
